BERK-DF8985: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A flint scraper dating to the late Neolithic / Bronze Age. The scraper is made on a secondary flake of a cream / blue flint. There is extensive retouching along the distal edge of the dorsal side only. The ventral side is smooth and flat. c. 2100-1800 BC.

PUBLIC-DF63D3: FLAKE
A thin flake of translucent brown flint with cloudy cream inclusions. Previous removals on the dorsal surface are parallel and feathered and from the same direction as the flake removal. The oblique distal end has been semi-abruptly retouched. The proximal facet has shallow removals and was probably an end scraper. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edged flake on page 129, fig 56, L104.

PUBLIC-DF3CB5: FLAKE
A thick triangular flake of mottled grey and mid grey with faint blue patina.The left margin is backed by pebble cortex. The oblique distal margin is finely retouched and converges with the right margin to a point, which is missing. This may have been use damage. The right edge is semi-invasively and slightly unevenly flaked. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edged flake on page 129, fig 56, L95.

BERK-DF32C4: CORE
Two flint core tablets, both in a dark grey / brown flint. The larger example bears a hinge fracture and is made on a secondary flake. Probably Mesolithic in date (c. 8300-2100 BC).

PUBLIC-DF24C5: FLAKE

PUBLIC-DF0216: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A thick cortical flake of grey and brown marbled flint with cream flecks.The pebble has been abruptly flaked through the cortex around most of the perimeter and then finished with finer retouch. Some of this has been undercut by abrasion from use. Mercer(1981) illustrates a cortical scraper on page 133, fig 58, L131.

PUBLIC-DEDD44: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A round scraper made on a thick flake of opaque and mottled light grey flint. The proximal end has been removed by a straight truncation. Bold semi-abrupt flakes have been removed from most of the way around the perimeter and then finished finely. Use has abraded the edge and some of it undercuts the distal end. Considerable use gloss has developed on 3 of the facets from contact with the scraped material. Mercer(1981) illustrates a round scraper on page 135, fig 59, L143.

BERK-DEBFE3: CORE
A multiplatform flint core, with multiple removals in several directions from all surfaces evident. The core retains some cortex, and is made from a dark blue / grey coloured flint. Late Mesolithic / early Neolithic in date, c. 6500-2100 BC.

CORN-DE89E1: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There are two parallel linear incisions running obliquely across the exterior of the sherd. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown with some black residue on the interior of the sherd. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric and type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). T.G. Manby in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates similar decoration on a Grooved Ware vessel from Willington in Derbyshire, on page 63, Fig.6.3, No.6.

PUBLIC-DE86B3: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A thick fragment of a pebble with spreading blue cream patination on grey flint . Flake scars around the sides are truncated as though it is a piece of a developed core. On the ventral edge an abraded scraper has been worked through the patination. Butler(2005) illustrates a scraper on page 184, fig 75, 3.

PUBLIC-DE6478: STRIKE A LIGHT
An abraded edged hard hammered fragment of nearly black nodular flint. It must have been used as a hammerstone or other heavy duty including grinding or a strike a light. Butler(2005) illustrates a modern flint knapper's kit including hammerstones on colour plate 6.

PUBLIC-DE2954: FLAKE
A wide thin , double soft hammer struck flake near the cortex of a mid grey and cream flecked flint pebble. Cortex covers the left margin and distal end. Parallel feathered flakes have been removed from the proximal end before the main removal. The right margin is sharp and ragged and has been used with fine retouch in the mesal part of the edge. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L115.

PUBLIC-DDEAE0: BORER
A thin curving flake of yellow and opaque cream flint with an oblique truncation removing the proximal end .The distal end is a flat facet. Where this meets the right ventral margin a point has been emphasized by removing a flake from each side of the corner forming a short but strong piercer. Mercer(1981) illustrates a piercer on page 135, fig 59, L150.

PUBLIC-DDBBF6: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A thick hard hammer struck flake of light grey and cream flecked flint. It seems to be part of a developed core as it has truncated facets rising to a patch of pebble cortex in the middle. Further long parallel removals around the distal end have made a short end scraper . Butler(2005) illustrates a scraper on page 128, fig 53, 1.

PUBLIC-DD9725: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A pebble of mid grey flint with cream flecks has been worked into a core with step fractured removals on the dorsal surface. A deeper struck flake removed the flaked face. Then a flake has been removed from the ventral surface and this edge used as a platform to abruptly remove flakes to make a scraper. Use has left slight abrasion to the undercut edge. Mercer(1981) illustrates a scraper on page 135, fig 59, L146.

CORN-DD8AA4: POT
Pottery rim sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There is a deep groove on the upper surface of the rim within an external everted rib. Below the rim are some small impressions but a pattern is not obvious. This sort of stepped rim corresponds to those on other Grooved Ware vessels, particularly of the Clacton style (Manby, 1999, 61). The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is mid-brown on the exterior and orangey-brown on the interior of the sherd. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric and type of decoration is seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). T.G. Manby in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates similar rims of Grooved Ware vessels from Garton Slack in Yorkshire, on page 63, Fig.6.3, Nos.2-3.

PUBLIC-DD6222: CORE
A core of mottled cream and grey flint with rusty spots.It has been worked from both ends for flakes and there have been transverse removals when the pebble was bigger. The platform edges have been abraded but it proved difficult to proceed further as the base had become small and liable to crush. Butler(2005) illustrates an opposed platform core on page 87, fig 31, 4.

BERK-DD3D70: END SCRAPER
An flint end scraper on a secondary flake, with minimal retouch on one dorsal lateral edge. Some recortification is evident at the distal end. The platform is retained. Mesoliothic or Neolithic in date (c. 8000 - 2100 BC).

PUBLIC-DD2886: FLAKE
A thin, broad flake of dark brown flint with cream flecks. There is a step fractured scar on the dorsal surface. Both margins have been utilised with an abruptly worked notch on the right ventral side. There is also some shallow invasive retouch on the left margin near the distal end. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L110.

WMID-DCE6A5: COIN
An extremely worn coin, probably Roman and probably a third century radiate or fourth century nummus. However the coin is completely blank and closer identification is not possible.

PUBLIC-DCAA21: FLAKE
Notched flake and has an edge trimmed as well. Notch is the more dominant feature and it is better to call the flake a notched flake. The trim is on the right hand side, down towards the area where the notch is located. The flint is a light grey, almost chalk like, colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 129, Fig 56, No. L97 which is dated to the Neolithic.

Flake which has been retouched or worked along the two edges towards a pointed end, forming a piercer or small awl. The flake has been snapped or broken at one end, forming a flat butt end. A flake, thinning flake, has been taken off the dorsal face, which gives backing for using the pointed end as a piercer or borer. The flint is dark brown/grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example one page 135, Fig 59. No. L150 which is dated to the Neolithic.

NARC-DC25E2: JETTON

Possible blade, though now lacking a clear V-section, with one handle remaining of an original pair which, if the identification is sustained, would be set at either end of the blade. This tool would be used in currying leather to scrape dirt from the inside of a hide, and to rub in and remove grease. Suggested date: Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1200-1800. Length: 62mm, Width: 13mm, thickness: 7mm, Weight: 16.22gms.

SWYOR-DAA6F2: COIN
A Medieval silver coin: a penny of Richard I (1189-1199) or John (1199-1216); class 3-4b (1196-1205); probably minted in Canterbury; moneyer: Reinaud. The coin was once folded and there is now a crease in the material; the edges are also worn. See North, volume 1, page 164, numbers 967-968. Thickness: 0.78mm; Diameter: 21.3mm; Weight: 1.25g

NLM-DA9981: NAIL
Wrought Iron nails. Two near-complete hand made nails and three other nail shank fragments (a-e); the most complete nail (d) probably had a flat rounded head. The making of nails by a blacksmith would produce a rectilinear section, as opposed to the round section of modern mechanically drawn nail shanks. The process of manufacture remained effectively unchanged through the Medieval and Post-Medieval period. Suggested date: Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1200-1800. Lengths and Weights: a) L 135mm W 38.54gms, b) L 68mm W 16.79gms, c) L 58mm W 5.47gms, d) L 54mm W 10.74gms, e) L 37mm W 5.19gms

PUBLIC-DA9277: FLAKE
Small flake or bladelet with 2 very small notched, on each side of flake, opposite each other. This appears to be deliberate. On the left hand side, the edge is trimmed above the notch, almost serrated rather than trimmed. Both notches have been worked from the dorsal side. At the proximal there is a rough flat area, and some cortex remains at the distal end. There is a clearly defined medial ridge. The flint is a medium grey colour and is translucent. The flint was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig 57, No. L114 which is dated to the Neolithic.

BERK-DA9246: COIN
A copper alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I (AD 307-337) dating to the period AD 307-318. Reece period 15. The reverse type is SOLI INVICTO COMITI. London Mint.

HAMP-DA84C2: WEIGHT
A small cast lead weight of later medieval date used by goldsmiths in relation to bullion. It is rectangular in form with inwardly curving sides. The upper surface is filled by a fleur-de-lis in low relief; the lower surface is plain. The object now has an off-white colour. Its mass of 55.9 grains (3.62g) relates to an eighth of a Paris troy ounce (30.5g) allowing for c. 5% loss to to wear and corrosion. The form and mass are comparable with a pair of bullion weights illustrated in Biggs and Withers (2000, 49; refs. 156, 157) and an example on this database - ref. SF-8F1591.

NLM-DA8201: HORSESHOE
Wrought Iron horseshoe. Horseshoe of Clark Type 4 (1995; Horseshoes in The Medieval Horse and its Equipment: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London, London, HMSO, pages 75-101) . The most notable feature is the relatively narrow space between the branches of the shoe, which approaches the configuration of a pointed arch. One calkin remains at one end of one branch, the other branch end was probably feathered. The web is broader (circa 46mm) and the shoe heavier than as specified by Clark (an average weight of 230 g with a web of width 30mm; the additional weight may have resulted from the accretion of material to a mass of corrosion, though the loss of metal can often lighten an iron object as it corrodes). One possible rectangular nail head is discernible close to the edge of the web. The object is thickly coated with Vaseline. Suggested date: possibly Late Medieval 1350-1500. Length: 122mm, Width: 124mm, Thickness: 20mm, Weight: circa 450 g

NLM-DA7165: PIPE (SMOKING)
Pipeclay tobacco pipe fragments. Three stem fragments, all with a low pedestal foot below the bowls (lost); the stems have wire drawn bores of 2.3 - 2.7mm. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1680-1750. Weight: 12.02g.

NLM-DA6753: PIPE (SMOKING)
Pipeclay tobacco pipe fragments. Two stem fragments from moulded tobacco pipes with wire drawn bore of diameter 2.3mm retaining spurs below their bowls (lost). Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1730-1760. Weight: 6.15g.

PUBLIC-DA5D91: FLAKE
Flake with trimmed right and left hand edges, both at the lower ends. The remaining cortex on the dorsal side acts as backing when using the edge trimmed flake. The flake has snapped or been broken at the proximal end, forming a flat, or butt end. On the ventral side there is a considerable amount of gloss from use wear, with striations visible in the gloss. The flint is light grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, fig 55, No. L93 which is dated to the Neolithic.

NLM-DA5C78: PIPE (SMOKING)
Pipeclay tobacco pipe fragments. Five bowl fragments and ten stem fragments from moulded tobacco pipes; these are undecorated save for the long thin spur below one of the bowls; the wire drawn bore of the stem fragments is circa 2.7mm and is held to indicate an earlier date for these fragments. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1680-1750. Weight: 48.46g.

SUR-DA5C22: COIN
A nummus of Valentinian I. Rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM Emperor dragging captive. AD364-378

NARC-DA5944: PILGRIM BADGE
A circular cast lead alloy pilgrim badge featuring, in relief, a stylised figure (probably a knight) on a horse advancing left, with arm and sword raised. Beneath the horse is a horizontal figure with a looping tail. This suggests that the image depicts St. George killing the dragon. There are elongated pellets radiating around the edge. The reverse has a vertical casting line with scars where the pin and catch were integrally cast but are now missing. A small section is missing from the lower left edge. According to Spencer (1998), the cult of St. George flourished in England from the time of the First Crusade in approximately 1098 AD. The cult was particularly associated with Windsor, where the chapel of St. George became the ceremonial centre of the Order of the Garter and the heart of St. George was reputed to have been given to the chapel by Emperor Sigismund in 1416 (Spencer; 1998; pg. 186). Pilgrim badges were produced between the 12th and 16th centuries AD. This badge has been cited by Lewis (2013, 281).

HAMP-DA57E2: JETTON
A worn and corroded, bent and abraded 15th-century copper-alloy French medieval 'Shield of France modern' jetton (1385 - c. 1422 AD; cf. Mitchiner 1988, p. 175ff.). This jetton has been bent and has suffered some circumferential losses as part of old damage.

NLM-DA4D74: PIPE (SMOKING)
Pipeclay tobacco pipe fragments. Three moulded bowl fragments (a-c), all bearing decoration: a) has vertical ribs with a tobacco leaf motif along the seam, and with ring and dot under the rim, b) has a part of a curvilinear scheme, and c) has a tobacco leaf motif alongside a further vegetal motif from the edge of a figurative scheme. Suggested date: Modern, 1840-1880. Weight: 4.02g.

SUR-DA41D1: COIN
A nummus of Valens. Rev: SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE Victory going left

NLM-DA40B7: VESSEL
Pottery base sherd. Fine biscuit coloured fabric with thick clear internal glaze; the vessel narrowed towards a flat base with a pronounced foot ring. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700. This sherd was kindly examined by Wallace Collyer of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research Group. Weight: 8.59gms.

NMS-DA3315: ARROWHEAD
Leaf Arrowhead (incomplete) Dimensions 36 x 25 x 4.6mm. A broad based, thin leaf arrowhead, recently snapped transversely with loss of the point. Finished overall on both faces by peripheral shallow pressure flaking, with complete removal of the surface of the blank. Both faces show signs of incipient patination, which has not affected the break surface. Leaf Arrowheads are a defining artefact of the Neolithic (especially the Early Neolithic Period, 4000-3000BC).

PUBLIC-DA2DD8: FLAKE
Flake with edges trimmed towards a point. One edge has been partly snapped. The other edge is denticulated rather than trimmed. The proximal end is flat, forming a butt end. There is a clearly defined medial ridge, and the ventral side is flat backed. The flint is dark grey and mottled in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, fig 55, No. L93 which is dated to the Neolithic.

SUR-DA2760: COIN
A nummus, possibly of Constans. Rev: VICTORIAE DD AVGG QNN Two facing Victories. AD343-348.

CORN-DA2044: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, with a reduced dark brown core. This type gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

SUR-DA10E2: COIN
A nummus of Gratian. Rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM Emperor dragging captive. AD364-378. Mint of Lyon.

CORN-D9F8C6: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. On the exterior is a single finger nail impression running horizontally across the width of the sherd. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of decoration and this gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). T.G. Manby in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates a similarly decorated Grooved Ware vessel from Willington in Derbyshire, on page 65, Fig.6.4, No.2.

SUR-D9F735: VESSEL
A cast copper alloy rim, only 100mm in diameter, from the base of a vessel. The inside surface is left roughcast. The external face has three turned lines. The fragment thickens towards the rim.

SWYOR-D9F676: COIN

BERK-D9F064: COIN
A copper alloy Charles I [1625-1649] rose farthing, North's 'type 2', single rose and single arched crowns, dating to the period c. AD 1636-1644. North N2291.

SUR-D9DF92: HARNESS RING
A worn ring, probably for horse harness and of uncertain date. The ring is a rounded oval, thinner on one side than the other. This may be a worn link.

HAMP-D9CA63: BUTTON
A corroded cast copper-alloy button of post-medieval date (c. 16th century AD). The button consists of a solid, shallow plano-convex head and a central integral shank that protrudes for 8.4mm with a hole towards the end of the shank to which the button would have been fastened to the item of clothing. The head has a small central pellet, radiating out from which are eight scrolled petals, all within a raised ropework border. Such floral or solar decoration on buttons with similar bosses can be seen in Bailey (1995, 27; ref. 7.19) The examples illustrated in this book are dated to the 16th or 17th centuries. This example is a dark-red/brown colour generally covered with an overlying mid-green and off-white corrosion product. The end of the shank has been bent to one side.

SUR-D9C743: COIN
A worn Iron Age copper alloy unit.

CORN-D9C254: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. On the exterior is a linear groove running horizontally across the width of the sherd with a flattened cordon below it. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, with a reduced dark brown core. This type of decoration and this 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, such as 523.4, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). Anna Brindley in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates a similarly decorated Grooved Ware vessel from Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, on page 141, Fig.14.3, No.3.

BERK-D9C123: BROOCH

SUR-D9BA92: COIN
A worn barbarous radiate. AD275-285

DOR-D9A020: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled disc brooch. There is some damage at the edge so that some enamel is missing. The pin is missing. The plate of the brooch is circular and flat. It is decorated with two fields of enamel. The outer, black or dark blue field is framed by a metal reserve around the circumference of the disc and is bounded on the inside by another reserve in the form of a five pointed star with a pellet end to each point and incurved edges. Inside this is red enamel around a central pellet of reserved metal. The back is flat and undecorated with a worn catchplate and a single pierced lug set at opposite ends of the diameter. The single lug indicates the missing pin had a spring rather than a hinge mechanism. Reference: Cf. Hattatt 2007 p.344, fig.203, nos.118, 518, 1409. In Roman Brooch Timeline (2007), Worrell dates flat enamelled disc brooches to AD 80-250. Date: Roman - AD 80 - 250 Diameter: 20.82 mm Thickness: 5.13.mm Weight: 2.45 g

ESS-D99307: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy single loop D shaped buckle dating to c.1350-1450. The buckle frame is D shaped with a narrowed, offset strap bar though the frame is damaged and missing a section. There is a notched lip at the centre of the frame loop which is bevelled with a flat reverse. There is a sheet copper alloy plate attached to the strap bar; there is a slot in the damaged folded edge where the pin would have been located and a single copper alloy rivet at the attachment end. The frame and plate has a dark green patina. The frame measures 17.37mm in length, 16.05mm wide and 2.28mm in thickness. The plate measures 13.07 in length, 20.34mm wide and 3.36mm thick. The total width of the buckle is c.32.68mm. It weighs 3.1g. Whitehead (2003) page 75, No 21, shows a similar buckle which he suggests dates from c.1350-1450.

NARC-D96682: SEAL BOX
An almost complete copper alloy Roman seal box. The two halves fit together perfectly, but detach due to a break in the hinge of both halves with the rivet missing. The box is lozenge shaped with 'heart'-shaped and rectangular cells which held enamel. Some enamel is still present but is much degraded. The cells are arranged around a central circular 8-armed star. There is some uneven blue coloured residue on the inside of each half, which may be a result of the wax held inside. The bottom half has four circular holes in the base, and cut outs of the two side corners. The edges of the upper half are damaged.

HAMP-D95B88: BUCKLE
A broken and now incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval sub-rectangular double-looped buckle (17th century AD). Each loop was trapezoidal, with lobed protrusions at the corners. Central on the outer edge is a triangular protrusion, with a transversely incised pin rest on the upper surface. There are rounded knops at either end of the pin bar. A thick sheet pin survives looped around this latter. It is corroded and bent downwards at its centre, abraded at the tip. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 84; ref. 523). The buckle has a mid-grey colour due to tinning on the surface.

HAMP-D92146: STRAP FITTING
A post-medieval cast copper-alloy uniface mount in the form of an acorn (c. 17th century AD). On the upper face the cup is delineated from the nut by a transverse step. At the cup's base the acorn has a bifurcated stalk. The upper surface of the cup would have been decorated with cross-hatching but this appears to have been worn down over time. The reverse features a pair of thin wiry lugs which have been bent into the centre of the mount. The artefact has a largely red-brown colour with overlying mid-green and off-white corrosion product. Similar mounts can be found illustrated illustrated in Read (2001, 29, 37; refs. 331-334).

A gilded cast copper alloy buckle frame of trapezoidal form. On one face the three remaining sides of the frame are decorated with closely spaced grooves.

HAMP-D8DBB1: KEY (LOCKING)
A slightly corroded medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a stem of oval cross-section with a hollow end that extends far into stem's tip. The bow is circular with a circular perforation in its centre (Int. dia.: 8.7mm). The bow is slightly thinner than the stem. At the other end, the bit is H shaped, formed of a rectangle with small notched clefts at the centre of the front and back . A similar key can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 67; ref. 550). This artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour. It has been bent slightly in profile as a result of old damage.

CORN-D84F87: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There is a linear incision running obliquely across one edge of the pot and four circular impressions crossing over it at an oblique angle on the exterior of the sherd. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is mid-brown on the exterior and orangey-brown on the interior of the sherd, with a reduced dark brown core. This type of decoration and this 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, such as 523.4, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming). Anna Brindley in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates a similarly decorated Grooved Ware vessel from Puddlehill in Bedfordshire, on page 140, Fig.14.2, No.13.

SWYOR-D84C60: COIN
A Roman silvered copper alloy coin: a radiate of Postumus (AD 260-269). The reverse is not clear but probably shows Postumus holding a globe and resting on a spear; the coin probably dates from 260-262 AD. Thickness: 1.65mm; Diameter: 22mm; Weight: 1.96g

BERK-D83063: COIN
A silver halfgroat of Henry VIII (AD 1509-1547) of uncertain issue as the initial mark is unclear; it may be a pomegrantie (AD 1509-1526) or part of a cross patonce (AD 1526-1532).

HAMP-D81767: BUCKLE
An abraded sheet buckle plate in copper-alloy of medieval date. It is of folded sheet construction and rectangular in plan, with breaks primarily at the attachment end. This latter is vulnerable because it is only the thickness of the upper fold at this point. Indeed the lower fold is highly truncated, trapezoidal beyond the pin slot and only up to 15.9mm in total length. The frame end (the fold) is also recessed for the frame to each side; the frame and pin are absent. The two folds were connected by a rivet beyond the pin slot; its end survives in the lower fold. The upper surface of the upper fold is decorated with a double border of rouletted opposing triangles that follows the edge, including around the pin slot, curved at this point. The field within is decorated by a cross formed of parallel rows of rouletted triangles arranged at right angles. These rows are filled with pairs of transverse groups of opposing triangles. It is the triangles that suggest a c. 14th-century date for this piece. The breaks mentioned at the attachment end are probably also a result of abrasions through two rivet holes located at each corner. The breaks are ragged along the attachment end and extend to a thin strip on one of the sides. The buckle plate has been bent in profile as a result of old damage. The object has a mid-green patina.

WMID-D80CF3: COIN
A silver medieval penny of Henry VI's annulet issue dating from 1422 to 1427, minted in Calais, North number 1432. Obverse legend HENRICVS REX ANGLIE. Reverse legend VILLA CALIS.

ESS-D7FBE3: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy double oval loop buckle dating to c.1350-1500. The buckle has a central recessed, narrowed strap bar which divides two oval loops though one loop is broken and now missing. The outer length of the buckle has an offset, straight edge to the loop. The outer edge of the frame is bevelled and the reverse is flat. Around the central bar is a sheet copper alloy pin which is bent around the bar. The frame is worn and incomplete. The frame measures 22.76mm across the length of the strap bar, 18.86m wide and 3.06mm thick. It weighs 3.73g. The length of the pin is c.14.55mm and c.1.58mm thick. Whitehead (2003) page 58, No 340, shows a similar buckle which he suggests dates from c.1350-1400

HAMP-D7DED2: COIN
An extremely worn and bent 3rd-century Roman silver denarius possibly of Severus Alexander, uncertain ?standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 222 - c. 238 AD; Reece issue period 11)

SOM-D7CC22: CUP
Post Medieval ceramic vessel, probably a cup of 16th to 17th century date. The vessel has slightly convex sides and a slightly turned out and rounded rim. The fabric is bright orange with abundent very fine quartz temper and poorly matured olive glaze on the inner and outer sides suggesting it is a waster piece from production. The cup was originally c.70mm in internal diameter at the rim and 5.5mm thick. The fragment is 32 grams.

DOR-D7BFC1: COIN
An early medieval silver early peny (sceat) of Secondary Phase Series E (type A) "Porcupine" obverse and TOTII standard reverse. Reference: Abramson, p86. cf. E110 Date: Middle Early-Medieval - 720 - 740 Diameter: 12.22 mm Weight: 1.02 g Die axis: 12

PUBLIC-D7BF74: FLAKE
A flake which has been broken, hinge fracture at distal end. There is trim, working along left hand edge, towards a point, this trim is on both edges. It appears to be an awl but is probably too small and not robust enough. It is better to be classified as an edge trimmed flake. The flint is light brown in colour and slightly translucent and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 153, fig 5.137, No.13 which is dated to the Neolithic.

SOM-D7AAF6: SPINDLE WHORL
Ceramic spindle whorl, cirrcular on plan and oval in profile with slightly flattened upper and lower sides and a diffuse mid-rib around the centre. There is a circular hole through the centre for the shaft,4.0mm in diameter. The fabric is high fired, possibly over fired with many voids, probably from organic temper, some very fine pink and white quartz temper. Mid brown fabric. Some areas of damage on each side and polishing. 36.4mm in diameter, 18.2mm thick and 13.06 grams. Although the spindle whorl is hard to date on its own it comes from an area with lots of 13th/14th century material with which it may be contemporary.

SWYOR-D7A167: COIN
A Roman silver coin: a denarius of the deified Faustina Senior. Reece period 7 (138-161 AD). Minted in Rome after 147 AD. AVGVSTA, Pietas standing at altar reverse type.

HAMP-D793F5: BROOCH
An incomplete Iron Age copper-alloy La Tène I type brooch of 4th- to 3rd-century BC date, possibly La Tène IBc. The integral spring is vestigial due to an old break, with the spring, external chord and pin all lost. Below the head the bow widens out and is pointed oval in plan, with a maximum width of 11.6mm, narrowing again to the foot. The back of the bow is flat and the front shallowly convex. Its upper surface is decorated with pairs of incised lines running parallel to the edge on each side, and a second pair of longitudinal lines either side of the centre forming a pointed oval. In profile the bow is a low arch, rising at c. 75 degrees to the head and foot with a flat central section. The foot has a flat section below the connection to the bow which widens into a small triangular catch-plate to one side with a upcurved side to hold the pin, 10.3mm long and 4.1mm high including the curled outer edge. Below the catch-plate the foot curves up and back on itself before ending in rounded knob. The brooch can be compared with an example on this database, ref. BUC-E0D317 (Portable Antiquities and Treasure Annual Report 2007, 60; ref. 64) This brooch has a dark-green patina where it survives, over a largely mid-green corroded surface.

PUBLIC-D78B11: FLAKE
A flake which can be described as a spurred piece. It has a trimmed edge, or spur, arresulting from the working along the edge towards the point which has become the spur. There is a hinge fracture at the distal end of the flake, dorsal view. The flint is a light brown, clear colour which was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004[ illustrates a similar example on page 58, fig 5.29, No.L53 which is dated to the Neolithic.

CORN-D781A1: POT
Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There is a large oval depression within the exterior of the sherd where a large inclusion is likely to have weathered out. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd, with a reduced dark brown core. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric is seen in local Grooved Ware vessels, such as 523.4, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

SUR-D774A3: SCABBARD
A late medieval cast copper alloy scabbard chape. The chape has a crenellated upper edge and a scallop-shaped expansion ending in a short knop projection. The single aperture is quatrefoil.

A farthing of James I, 1603-25.

SOM-D74D38: JUG
Two fragments, one body, one base, of a medieval jug of 13th/14th century date. Both sherds show signs of misfiring with grey, over-fired mid-grey fabrics and speckled/bubbley glaze. The fabric has abundent fine quartz temper. The body sherd is 3.4mm thick with bubbly green glaze covering one side, 5 grams. The base is flat with foot rim around the outer edge. This rim has been formed by pulling the clay down and out on the base and lower part of the outer side giving thumbing lines on the side and a slight piecrust effect on the rim. There are speckles of olive glaze on the outer side, 34 grams.

PUBLIC-D74B37: FLAKE
A concoidal flake with shallow retouch along one side - the side which is concoidal in shape. There is slight trim along the opposite edge. The flint is brown in colour and slightly translucent and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Andrefsky illustrates a similar example on page 24, fig 2.11, No.6 which is dated to the Neolithic.

DOR-D74A76: COIN
A silver halfpenny. Possibly of Edward III. No obverse legends survive. Reference: Date: Medieval - c. 1300 - 1400 Diameter: 19.95 mm Weight: 0.48g Die axis: uncertain

A cast copper alloy medieval quatrefoil pendent belt loop. The suspension bar is missing.

SOM-D71951: FLOOR TILE
Fragment of a Medieval ceramic floor tile of 13th/14th century date. It consists of only around a quarter of the original tile - one corner. The tile has a flat upper and lower face and bevelled sides, so the base is smaller than the upper face. The remains of a glazed design can still be seen on the upper face. This consists of an olive background, with a lighter whitish pattern. The design is worn and what pattern it originally formed is unclear. Some olive glaze continues down one of the sides. The unglazed areas of the tile are a bright to dark orange-red. The reverse face of the tile has a large conical indentation towards the complete corner. This is an example of the practice of 'keying', by which shell-shaped or conical holes (usually four) were dug out of the reverse of tiles prior to firing to aid bedding or levelling when the tiles were eventually used (Lowe 2003, 6-7). It is 63.0mm by 69.3mm and 29.0mm thick, it weighs 171 grams.

NLM-D63E41: DEBITAGE
Dark grey flint with cortex possible debitage. Struck flake with possible bulb of percussion on one side; the other side bears recent impact damage; the finder asserts that flint does not occur naturally at this find-spot. Suggested date: Possibly Neolithic to Possibly Bronze Age, 3500-800 BC. Length: 43.7mm, Width: 33.3mm, Thickness: 9.7mm, Weight: 16.15gms.

SOM-D61D44: GRINDSTONE
Sandstone rotary grindstone, probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date. About 40% of the stone remains, it was a sub circular disk with a hole drilled through the centre. On the remaining fragment the maximum width between the central hole and edge is 60.9mm and the minimum 45.4mm. It appears it was flat on both sides with a flat outer edge although it is now badly pitted. It is 128mm by 68mm across, 59.4mm thick and weighs 530 grams. The stone has been examined by Dennis Parsons who gave his opinion that it is a sandstone with mica and from a non-Somerset source. Although similar to rotary quern stones it is probably too small to be practical for this use and therefore was probably a rotary grindstone for sharpening items. From other material found with it a Medieval - Post Medieval date is suggested.

NLM-D616D2: KEY (LOCKING)
Iron key. Wrought iron rotary key with oval bow, moulded shank and a bit with two wards with three clefts apiece; it is likely that a narrower pin at the end of the shank has been lost. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850. Length: 128.1mm, Width (bow): 43.8mm, Diameter (moulding on shank): 13.2mm, Thickness (bit): 9.8mm, Weight: 90.19gms.

NLM-D5F612: WEIGHT
Lead possible weight. Cast anthropomorphic object possibly depicting a figure kneeling on a pedestal with head bowed and arms at its sides, perhaps with the hands in the lap. There may also be a piled coiffure, though this might equally be a feature of the setting of the figure, perhaps an alcove. The mass of the object might suggest it to represent half an ounce. Topically this may relate to a series of figures of captives bound or constrained in varied attitudes of dejection; the subject is also a common inhabitant of later Roman coin reverses. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. Height: 22.9mm, Width: 12.8mm, Thickness: 9mm, Weight: 13.81gms.

ESS-D5DD94: COIN

Bi-conical lead steelyard weight with an iron core and incomplete iron loop at the apex. It is of probable Roman date.

ESS-D51C31: MOUNT
Roman cast copper alloy mount, probably from a casket or item of furniture. It was found near to an almost identical mount recorded on this database as ESS-C55282. The mount is in the form of a female bust. The head is oval with cast features. The eyes are oval, and pointed at the end making them appear almost lozenge shaped. There is a slight raised ridge above the eyes, forming eyebrows. The nose is a pronounced triangle. The mouth is depicted by a short depressed line. The chin is rounded. The hair is tied back; it has a central parting and the hair is drawn around the head into a coronet, with the strands of hair illustrated by oblique lines. The apex of the head also has two top-knots (or buns), with a flat oval area on the head immediately behind each knot and extends to the sides of the head. There is a raised, curved line running around the base of the neck, however no other details of draping or clothing are visible on the upper chest or shoulder area. The reverse of the shoulders and chest would have been the point of attachment; the reverse is cast at a 45 degree angle and has the remains of a corroded iron rivet extending out from the base of the neck. The iron corrosion from this fitting extends through to the front of the figure, where iron corrosion can be seen under the left hand chin and neck of the figurine. The mount is 35.83mm long, 20.37mm wide, 16.68mm thick at the head, 12.92mm wide, 12.77mm thick at the neck (including iron corrosion), 27.88mm wide, 14.84mm thick at the shoulders (including iron corrosion). Weight 44.5 grams. The mount has a mid-green patina. The figurine could be a representation of the goddess Diana. For a discussion on the representation of Diana or to see similar mounts look at PAS records: NARC-062D54, LANCUM-7780D3, DENO-EC7308 & BH-C852C3.

ESS-D51A71: MOUNT
Roman cast copper alloy casket or furniture mount. The mount is cylindrical with a flat circular base with the remains of a corroded iron rivet. There are two raised ridges around the circumference of the mount, with a slightly convex area in between, measuring 8.16mm wide. Immediately after the upper ridge, the mount reduces in diameter with concave sides before widening slightly before terminating in a flat circle with a slight depression around its circumference. The mount is 23.54mm in diameter, 9.05mm at the narrowest point and 13.23mm at the terminal. It weighs 56.6 grams and 38.93mm long. It has a patchy mid to dark green patina. The mount is probably associated with 'bell shaped' mounts such as: ESS-F0A7F6, ESS-069757, ESS-063992, ESS-DA2792 and ESS-82AE35 although there are more examples on this database.

WAW-D51513: VESSEL
An incomplete cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel later medieval to Post-medieval date (1300 - 1700). The foot is broadly sub-rectangular in plan tapering in width from the top to the base. In cross section the foot is a triangular shape. The upper edge of the foot is broadly flat. The base of the foot is conxex and worn. The front face has a large vertical D shaped rib extending from the broken top to the base.

WAW-D4EF47: VESSEL
An incomplete cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a skillet or posnet of later medieval date (1300 - 1600). The foot is broadly sub-rectangular in plan tapering in width from the top to the base. In cross section the foot is a triangular shape. The upper edge of the foot is broken with an uneven surface. The base of the foot is irregular with a relatively flat section. The front face has a large vertical D shaped rib extending from the broken top to the base. The foot is a dark black colour with a carbonised soot deposit adhering to all surfaces. Similar examples of feet from copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1600). The leg measures 38.3mm in length, has a maximum width of 25.95mm, a maximum thickness of 13.6mm and it weighs 36.3 grams.

PUBLIC-D457E5: FABRICATOR
A large thick flake of rectangular section, struck from a pebble of mottled cream and grey flint.The tool is shaped like a segment of an orange with cortex on the outside and the straight edges utilised for a scraping task with shallow flakes detached and use gloss. The shape is like a fabricator but it has been used expediently without further retouch. Butler(2005) illustrates a fabricator on page 186, fig 76, 11.
